 RIDE THE LOCHINVAR WAVE™
UP TO 6.0 MILLION BTU & 96.2% EFFICIENCY
With the exclusive Wave fire-tube design, advancements in Lochinvar
combustion technology and the SMART TOUCH™ control with CON·X·US, CREST
changed how the industry thinks about fire-tube boilers. Now you have the
opportunity to use all of these features in sizes ranging from 750,000 to 6.0
million BTU/hr and delivering up to 96.2% thermal efficiency.

THE CREST COMBUSTION SYSTEM

CREST boilers are equipped with a top-mounted micro-metal fiber
burner, engineered specifically for fire-tube technology. The system is
designed to ensure smooth, quiet modulating combustion with up to
25:1 turndown. A FBN-2001 fires at its maximum 2,000,000 Btu/hr
rate when the heat load is highest, and then gradually turns down to
as low as 4% (80,000 Btu/hr) as load decreases. A modulating system
runs smoothly and efficiently, without frequent on/off cycling. When
the system is zoned, CREST’s high turndown works to match the actual
system demand. In return, CREST reduces the customer’s fuel bill and
provides better comfort by load-matching the heat loss of the system.

REDUCE INSTALLATION COST WITH

VARIABLE FLOW TECHNOLOGY
CREST can operate over a wide range of flow rates with very low
pressure drop. This permits installation of a full flow (variable primary)
system. Installation is streamlined, without the time and materials cost
of primary/secondary piping, and pumps needed to maintain flow in a
water-tube boiler. Variable flow also makes CREST more flexible at
handling frequent fluctuations in the system flow rate.

HIGH EFFICIENCY WITH MINIMUM

SUPPLY PRESSURE
CREST operates reliably with supply gas pressure as low as 4 inches
water column. Negative Regulation technology draws gas into a
pre-mix combustion system, instead of relying on utility pressure
through the gas valve. Operation is steady in low gas pressure systems
or when peak gas supply demand occurs. Plus, Neg/Reg fan control
fine-tunes the fuel/air ratio entering the burner, providing an even,
cleaner-burning flame, achieving high combustion efficiency.
INTRODUCING BOILER PLANT
CONTROL, FROM ANYWHERE.
Crest features the next generation of Lochinvar’s all-in-one SMART TOUCHTM
operating control with the integration of the CON·X·US® advanced technology.
SMART TOUCH with CON·X·US provides outstanding functionality, and can
be integrated directly into a Building Automation System via Modbus
and BACnet MSTP as standard equipment.
And now, the CON·X·US mobile communication platform allows the
SMART TOUCH to go where no other boiler has gone before.
CON·X·US provides the ability to monitor and manage multiple Crest boiler
plants without ever stepping into the mechanical rooms. CON·X·US will send
alerts via text or email notifying of changes in system status, and anytime, from
anywhere, a user can check system status and re-program boiler functions.
Once downloaded, the free CON·X·US mobile application allows for remote
access to all SMART TOUCH functions using any internet-capable device.

PEACE OF MIND, WHEN IT MATTERS MOST

Cascade Redundancy provides peace of mind because it helps ensure that a
CREST boiler system will always deliver reliable performance with no downtime.
If the lead boiler is turned off for maintenance, Cascade Redundancy
automatically shifts the lead role to the second sequenced boiler. Up to eight
CREST boilers can be sequenced using a 2-wire daisy-chain connection.
Cascade sequencing can be programmed for Lead-Lag or Efficiency Optimized
operation.

With Lead-Lag operation, one lead boiler modulates to capacity on demand.

As load increases, the system then cascades to additional lag boilers in
sequence. The first-on role shifts daily, distributing equal runtimes to each unit.

In an Efficiency Optimized system (see illustration below), all boilers fire and
modulate simultaneously at the same Btu/hr input rates, maximizing thermal
efficiency.

 FLEXIBLE VENTING OPTIONS
CREST offers 6 venting options, and permits direct-vent air intake and exhaust runs
up to 100 equivalent feet, using PVC, CPVC, polypropylene or stainless steel pipe.**
Plus, multiple units can be common-vented to reduce time and materials cost.

 SUPERIOR FIRE-TUBE
HEAT EXCHANGER
DESIGN BOOSTS
THERMAL EFFICIENCY
The CREST boiler takes fire-tube technology to
a new level. The patented Wave™ configura-
tion creates turbulence as flue gas products
flow down the tube, scrubbing the energy
from the flue products. The Wave design also
enhances the life of the heat exchanger by
allowing the tubes to flex, so they operate
stress free with none of the adverse effects
suffered by traditional fire-tube boilers.

Each fire tube is welded into the heat

exchanger and surrounded by water, and the
heat transfer process is enhanced by the
water’s counterflow. As water flows up inside
the vessel, super-heated flue products flow
down the fire tube. With one pass, heat is
effectively captured, reaching condensing
temperatures. At the top of the vessel, the
combustion chamber is also water-backed for
additional heat transfer.
